Review: ANASTASIA - THE MUSICAL Enchants at La Mirada Theatre
by Michael Quintos - June 11, 2026
I'll say this now: this Summer's most beguiling, most enchanting theatrical surprise is perhaps the brand new, gorgeously opulent regional production of ANASTASIA - THE MUSICAL, now on stage at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts through June 20, 2026. A visual stunner punctuated by remark...
Review: OC's Segerstrom Center Welcomes New Tour of THE SOUND OF MUSIC
by Michael Quintos - June 08, 2026
You may ask yourself—is seeing a touring stage production of the globally and generationally ubiquitous 1959 musical THE SOUND OF MUSIC still worth experiencing live on stage in 2026? While the stage musical in its current touring form certainly doesn't offer anything revolutionary or new to the s...

Review: Defying Gravity - An Evening with Stephen Schwartz Flies to the Irvine Barclay
by Michael Quintos - June 04, 2026
It's a very rare treat—particularly all the way here in Orange County, California—to hear Broadway songs and the stories behind them performed directly by the legendary composer himself, even for just a one-night-only event. But that is exactly the gift bestowed upon a rapt audience recently whe...
Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at Hollywood Pantages
by Evan Henerson - June 03, 2026
As substantial as its built-in assets are, the two-time Tony Award winner, musical is lacking in other areas. Book writer Kristoffer Diaz has crafted an exciting leading character, and an even more interesting supporting player. Alas, he has also included a rather perfunctory family triangle that gu...
Review: PRIMARY TRUST at Mark Taper Forum
by Evan Henerson - May 31, 2026
Booth’s deeply sympathetic rendering of a good man navigating a life of crises is 95 minutes of sublimity. And in the role of Kenneth, actor Petey McGee delivers a performance that is as throat lump-inducing as it is uplifting....
